1984 Death of Marsha Kay Clark Peterson

Does anyone out there remember this case? Daniel E. Peterson beat his wife Marsha Kay Clark Peterson to death with a baseball bat. Marsha's mother at the time was wheel chair bond and could not do anything to help her daughter, as he beat her to death in front of her. He hit her 13 times, 7 of which was in the head. When the case went to trial he recieved 1st degree manslauter and was given a 20 year sentence. He was out in 5 years. I'm looking for any additional information people may have on this case. If you we're a neighbor, a friend or just heard talk around town. Please leave your comments! Thank you so much!

Yes i know all about that fathfull day for i am Marsha Kay Clark Peterson's daughter!! That was the worst day of my life because i was there that day. I don't know if you will get this or if you even check this thing but if you do why do you want to know about that day in Jan,1984?

I'm a relative and was doing some family history. I was a child myself when she was murdered. I only wanted to know why he only served 5 years for this vicious crime. The family never talked much about it because it was so painful. I just wondered why there wasn't more news available on the case... I feel he did not receive just punishment is all. I'm so sorry for the horrible tragedy you have suffered through.

Roadrunner, how did you know that he was released? Do you know him or how are you familiar with the case? I only want to know because I'd like to find out more information about the court proceedings and why he was only charged with manslaughter. My poor aunt had to watch this crime take place and died knowing an injustice was done. Any help would be appreciated.

I want to know what is all of this about? What is this about? And my sister is right leave our dad alone.. Yes he did this bad thing but it should not make up the rest of his life.. And he was a dad to me when he did not have to be.. Why are you all wanting to know about this.. I happened a long time ago.. And i do mean a long time like 29 years.. LEAVE IT IN THE PAST!!!

Why in the world would you want anything to do with this man who took your mother away in such a brutal manner???? He deserved to rot his life away in prison. No justice has been served here. But at least he will answer to Gods judgement and it won't be pretty.
